This is Le Podcast on Emerging Leadership. I am OpenAI. I am the host of today’s podcast. The BEPS framework is useful for understanding a leader's different roles and responsibilities. It helps clarify the various areas a leader should focus on to be effective and achieve success.
Let’s draw together the four axes of the BEPS framework. You can draw it in your mind, on a real page, or follow along using the drawing available in the companion blog post.
Starting from the center of the page and going up, the Business axis involves understanding the business and the ecosystem in which the organization operates. It also involves developing a clear vision and understanding the reasons behind the organization's solutions, products, features, and services.
Starting from the center of the page and going down, the Execution axis involves delivering the work and achieving results.
Going back to the center and heading to the right, you have the People axis. The People axis focuses on the management and development of people within the organization. This includes hiring, growing people, managing performance, and, of course, self-improvement.
And finally, starting again from the center of the page and heading to the left, the System axis involves understanding the system formed by people, organization, processes, and tools and removing obstacles to great work.
By considering these four axes, a leader or manager can ensure that they effectively balance their time and focus on achieving success and meeting the organization's and its people's needs.
Today, I have the great pleasure of having Alexis Monville, the creator of the framework, as the guest on the podcast.
